Mock Draft 2018!
| 1 | Browns | (QB) Sam Darnold | USC | Cleveland cannot overthink this pick or get cute. Sam Darnold is the most well rounded qb and still has tons of upside. |
| 2 | Giants | (RB) Saquon Barkley | Penn St. | If the Giants think Eli still has a few years left then give him the best running back prospect since AP. And give him the ball often. |
| 3 | Jets | (QB) Josh Allen | Wyoming | Allen over Mayfield as the jets are still a few years away giving Allen and his ridiculous traits time to develop. |
| 4 | Browns | (DE) Bradley Chubb | NC Sate | Garrett on one side Chubb on the other. The Browns will not be fun to block. |
| 5 | Broncos | (QB) Josh Rosen | UCLA | A cocky Southern Cali kid with a smooth release. Sound Familiar. Elway wont be scared of Rosen and his cerebral approach. |
| 6 | (T) Bills | (QB) Baker Mayfield | Oklahoma | The Bills go up in the draft again and take last remaining top tier QB. He can sit a year or most likely push A.J. McCarron right away. |
| 7 | Buccaneers | (DB) Minkah Fitzpatrick | Alabama | The Buccs offense should be ok. A versitle DB gives them another piece to move around the defense which needs to improve to compete. |
| 8 | Bears | (OL) Quenton Nelson | Notre Dame | Match made in heaven. Nelson stays in the mid west and gives their young QB a nice gift. |
| 9 | 49ers | (DB) Derwin James | Florida St. | James replaved Eric Reid and though had a down year is worth the top selection with his overal physical game. |
| 10 | Raiders | (LB) Roquan Smith | Georgia | John Gruden will love the hard nosed Smith and plug him in day one to run his defense. |
| 11 | Dolphins | (LB) Tremaine Edmunds | Virginia Tech | I think Edmunds may end up the best player in this draft. His length and speed are special. Steal for the Dolphins. |
| 12 | (T) Colts | (DE) Marcus Davenport | UTSA | After trading down the colts select upside with Davenport. He could be a star or a bust. |
| 13 | Redskins | (DL) Vita Vea | Washington | Redskins pair Vea with last years Allen to form a wall along the D-line. They will be tough to run against. |
| 14 | Packers | (DB) Denzel Ward | Ohio St. | Green Bay may have to move up for Ward. Luckily he falls to them and improves their secondary right away. |
| 15 | (T) Patriots | (LB) Leighton Vander Esch | Boise St. | Patriots move up but not for a QB. Vander Esch reminds me of Jamie Collins, he did very well in this system. |
| 16 | Ravens | (WR) Calvin Ridley | Alabama | Need I say more. The Alabama to Baltimore connection lives on and in a postion of great need. |
| 17 | Chargers | (OL) Mike Mcglinchey | Notre Dame | Phillip Rivers may have 2 years left. Protecting him is their number one concern. |
| 18 | (T) Panthers | (OL) Connor Williams | Texas | Panthers trade up and take Williams to shore up the O-line. Cam gets hit way way to much. |
| 19 | Cowboys | (WR) Courtland Sutton | SMU | Home town team to the Cowboys and replaces Dez. This pick makes a splash, just like Jerry Jones plans. |
| 20 | Lions | (RB) Derrius Guice | LSU | Lions need some more power in their run game. Guice is just that. If he can stay clean off the field should be great value. |
| 21 | (T) Begnals | (OL) Will Hernandez | UTEP | Andy Dalton regressed without time to throw. Hernandez should help and provide holes for Joe Mixon. |
| 22 | (T) Colts | (OL) Kolton Miller | UCLA | Assuming Andrew Luck is healthy the Colts need to heep him upright. Miller has the skills to be a stud left tackle. |
| 23 | (T) Cardinals | (QB) Lamar Jackson | Louisville | Cardinals trade back and still land a QB. Fit seems odd but high celing makes it worth the risk. |
| 24 | (T) Browns | (DB) Jaire Alexander | Louisville | Jaire gives cleveland another solid piece in the secondary. Watch out the Browns are collecting some talent. |
| 25 | Titans | (DE) Harold Landry | Boston College | Pressure off the edge is a huge need for the Titans. Landry had a down year but his body of work is tremendous. |
| 26 | Falcons | (DL) Da’Ron Payne | Alabama | Atlanta is building a solid D-line. Payne may not be a star but will be solid contributor. |
| 27 | Saints | (WR) D.J. Moore | Maryland | Drew Brees gets a weapon and the saints make a push to win another Super Bowl with their aging star QB. |
| 28 | Steelers | (LB Rashaan Evans | Alabama | Replacing Ryan Shazier is important even as they root for him to come back. Evan seems to fit in Pitt. |
| 29 | Jaguars | (DB) Josh Jackson | Iowa | Steal of the draft as Jackson has crazy ball skills. How will teams throw on the Jaguars. |
| 30 | Vikings | (OL) Isaiah Wynn | Georgia | With the return of Dalvin cook, Wynn will be a strong addition. Take the pressure off of Kurt Cousins. |
| 31 | Patriots | (DB) Isaiah Oliver | Colorado | No more Malcom Butler. No big deal as Oliver has great length to start right away for the Pats. |
| 32 | Eagles | (TE) Dallas Goedert | South Dakota St. | They want to trade back but Goedert fills a need and has the chance to be special, especially if brought along slowly. |
